So I've heard good and bad things about Firefox in this thread. The bad things being mainly the performance, and some sites just don't load...

So my question to you is, If I'm comfortably browsing on Brave with uBlock on, is it really worth the switch right now?

Firefox had some issues like a decade ago on their old engine. In the past few years, they seriously stepped up their game.

If you're a normal user, you probably won't even notice the difference between Firefox and Chomium-based browsers. Sometimes I come across a weird website that doesn't want to load properly, so I'll open a Chrome tab for a few minutes to access it, but that's increasingly rare.

For web development, I generally prefer Chome's debug tools, but do all my normal browsing with Firefox.

Yeah, I am a normal user, I don't do web development or anything like that so I'll probably hold off on a decision until the new manifest. Thanks for your input. :)
